2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RK66 FJJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 106,596 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just five weeks prior. The transition from a failure at 106,338 miles—citing an inoperative engine management light and multiple lighting failures—to a pass indicates that critical faults are only being addressed when mandated by testing, rather than through a consistent servicing regimen. At 106,596 miles over ten years, the vehicle has averaged an annual mileage of approximately 10,660 miles. This is consistent with typical UK usage for a premium compact hatchback. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 10,000 miles by early 2026. This consistent use suggests the car is driven regularly, which explains the wear on components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension, as the shock car have been flagged across multiple tests. In January 2025 at 96,272 miles, both rear shocks showed reduced damping, and by February 2026, the offside rear unit was noted for light misting of oil. This progression suggests the dampers are nearing the end of their functional life and likely require replacement to maintain vehicle stability. Furthermore, the front braking system should be inspected thoroughly. The braking system also shows a history of wear, with the 2025 test identifying thin front brake pads and pitted or scored discs. While these may have been addressed, the recent failure regarding the engine management light (MIL) in January 2026 is a significant concern; a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no hidden fault codes were simply cleared to pass the MOT. Additionally, the exhaust system and lighting assemblies should be checked for continued degradation, as these have been recurring issues in the record.
